What should the countertop stand on?

[Hammare&Spik]

Hello!
In our laundry room, we currently have two washing machines standing next to each other. The wall they are along is about 2.5m long. I thought it would look much nicer if there was a countertop hanging just above the machines. This would create a workspace where you can fold/sort and deal with the laundry.
Ordering a custom-made countertop is not so difficult.
But how do I best "hang" up the countertop? I have also thought of having laundry baskets under the countertop, so they sort of "disappear" out of sight, which would be nice.

Thanks

I am planning to place a board above the washing machine and dryer as described here. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Place a countertop directly across TM/TT, apply double-sided tape.
Alternatively, you can install brackets on the wall and then place the countertop on them, which will raise the countertop slightly.

Place a countertop directly on the WM/DT, use double-sided tape.
Alternatively, you can attach brackets to the wall and then place the countertop on them, which would raise the countertop a bit.

Interesting to place it directly on... Isn't there a risk that the entire countertop will shake a lot when the machines run!?
Which brackets do you recommend?

Otherwise, you can put brackets on the wall that you then place the countertop on, that way you raise the countertop slightly

Good and informative video! I'm thinking you might be able to use several brackets since the one I want to put up is 2.5m long!

Absolutely. I would probably place brackets every 60 cm and possibly complement with legs at the front edge if there is space. And if the short sides connect to the wall or a fixed cabinet, fasten there as well with strips like on the back.

Example of legs.
